The new head office in Stockholm is located in the iconic Katarinahuset.

With Stockholm's best view, the office is designed as a hybrid office with the various companies under the same group. PHD, OMD, OMG, Trakken, Transact, Drum and Heart & Science

The focus and priority have been the common areas. The galley lounge is the heart of everyone and is used from morning to night. The reception area creates a pleasant reception and is used both by visitors and internally for meetings.

We have chosen to work with 85% recycled furniture and focused on tailor-made solutions that are sustainable and environmentally friendly.

The COPPER BUILDING was built in the 1970s and has been listed for special protection by the Stockholm City Museum due to its great cultural and historic value.

The building is notable for its closed, cubic volume and its fine copper facades.

On the seventh floor of the Copper Building is property firm Rikshem’s new head office.

When it was time for Rikshem to move from an older three-storey building to this modern 1970s building, they hired us as their interior architects. Here, everybody is united on a single floor, which includes everything from silent zones to a range of team rooms and larger conference rooms.

The heart of the space is a large kitchen area that is used as a lounge from morning to evening, for breakfast, work and meetings.

Rikshem’s new, modern hybrid office has received strong positive reviews from employees. It’s a space that helps promote cooperation and knowledge-sharing – a space where people enjoy spending time.

The interiors reflect Clarion Collection’s "Hygge" concept, a Danish word for a feeling of being welcome in the embrace of a comfortable, cozy atmosphere. Beauty and relaxed elegance are the guiding lights, along with a focus on details and artisanal craft. A focus on craft was an inspiration from history; the building originally housed Kåbergs Wallpaper Factory.

Client: Strawberry/Nordic Property Management Property owner: Fabege

Situated in the Strawberry is the 22,400 sq m Comfort Hotel Solna, Scandinavia’s first zero-energy hotel. Solar cells on the facade and roof are integrated into the architecture. Egnell Allard designed 336 hotel rooms, 88 long-stay apartments, 3 floors of public space and the headquarters of Strawberry Hotels in the building. The hotel rooms range from 18 sq m standard rooms to 75 sq m suites.

The emphasis was on working with natural and recycled materials in the interiors and on exposed surfaces. Stone, solid wood and 100% wool rugs with a green profile were obvious choices, along with textiles and curtains made of recycled materials. For example, we chose an organic floral wallpaper made of pressed hay and flowers, and lamps made of recycled PET bottles.

An important element of the interior design was preserving the raw concrete used in construction. Hence the raw concrete walls and ceilings in the hotel rooms, public spaces and long-stay apartments. It’s not just a great look, it reduces material consumption.

Much of the interior furniture was custom-designed by Egnell Allard, from the desks, bed headboards and open closets to the tables, shelves and sofas in the public spaces.

The public spaces, including an enormous, open three-story lobby, are both comfortable and functional.

For Strawberry, we designed 88 long-stay apartments, ranging from small singles to spacious three-room apartments.

Living like home/Long-stay.

These apartments are perfect for visitors coming to Stockholm for a longer stay who appreciate a sustainable (Scandinavia’s first) zero-energy hotel with all its convenient facilities, including a bar/reception area, breakfast and comfortable lounge areas, all framed by fine architecture and design.

The apartments at the Comfort Hotel Solna are well-planned, with fully equipped kitchenette and sofa beds for friends and sleepover guests.

On the first floor of the Strawberry, directly above the Comfort Hotel’s bar/reception and lobby lounges, is Strawberries new Swedish headquarters.

Here we reused many items from Strawberries previous headquarters. Tables, writing boards, conference room chairs, china and much more were carefully selected and reused. Through painstaking attention to every detail, we have created an optimal solution.

The color scale at the HQ is harmonious, with subtle tones and hues.

Client: Fabege

Egnell Allard worked on the interior design for a new concept for Fabege called WAW – “Work AWay from home”. WAW is a different form of co-working for Fabege’s customers.

The concept works like this: if, for example, you live south of the city but work north of the city, you can work at a WAW office at LUMA (south) or Arenastaden (north) to avoid traffic and rush-hour congestion or save time between meetings. It’s a way of making it easier for Fabege’s customers and tenants to solve the puzzle of everyday life.

A neutral, dynamic, sober interior concept was developed for it.

Level 5 of Lindhagens Galleria was to be home to a restaurant called Ryas kök. The restaurant would be in the public space, and the challenge was to create a welcoming environment you encounter immediately when you come up on the escalator, next to Systembolag, a gym, etc.

Today it is a bright, wonderfully inviting setting, perfect for a coffee break, a lunch or a relaxing after-work meetup.

Client: Skandia Fastigheter
Building architect: Fojab

To enable people to use the rooftop terrace year round, Skandia Fastigheter built a pavilion which is operated by Urban Deli.

The concept was to create an indoor–outdoor feeling with material chosen for their durability. We designed the built-in furnishings, such as the bar and the fireplace, and selected complementary loose furnishings. Result: a popular oasis in the clouds.

Completed: Autumn 2009
Renovated: Spring 2016

The first Urban Deli outlet opened in 2009, a unique concept at the time. There was no other place in Stockholm with a grocery, raw bar and restaurant all under one roof. Their concept was a success, and since then we renovated the premises in spring 2016. Many of the furnishings are custom-designed.

The second Urban Deli outlet opened in the Sickla Mall in suburban Stockholm. We were brought in to provide a complete design for the restaurant, concept and furnishings.

“Suburb” immediately became the working name. We sought to create a brutalist, underground feeling with rough, raw materials and pine plywood.

The third Urban Deli is situated at Sveavägen 44, with a hotel in the basement, a rooftop bar, a café, a food studio and conference space. There is a reception area for all the tenants in the building. We designed all the environments, including the reception area. Much is custom-designed, including bars, sofas and booths. Even the tile in the bar is an original design for Urban Deli Sveavägen.

The Inedal residential project included two older buildings with a shared courtyard. The apartments are small, about 20 sq m each. Built in the late 19th century, they had a shared kitchen and were intended for single working women. Their story continues, but now with fully modern apartments, each with its own kitchen. Emphasis was also placed on common areas such as the courtyard, gym with a personal trainer and drop-in laundry room with windows facing the courtyard.

A large second living room can be used for large dinners. There is a restaurant serving breakfast and dinner on the ground floor, a fine social space for the building. We custom-designed the kitchens, choosing to work with timeless materials in a nod to history.

We helped develop a concept for the space under Urban Deli on Sveavägen – an underground hotel operated by Urban Deli. The rooms came as prefab modules including a bathroom. We focused on the design of the rooms, developing various room types. The type we ended up selecting was one we called “The Nest”, inspired by birdhouses and with a cozy, secure, comfortable feeling. The hallway has an underground city feeling, with motifs and doorways suggestive of London or New York.

The hotel includes 106 rooms of 12–24 sq m.

The Clarion Collection Hotel Borgen is a gem, situated in central Örebro.

When the castle-like 19th century building was slated for extensive renovation, we were commissioned to run the entire project. We designed all the built-in furnishings, such as the reception desk, bars and sofas, as well as the headboards of the beds and bedside tables and lighting.

For many years, the building was home to the local newspaper, Nerikes Allehanda. We worked to create interiors with a modern feel, but with the inspiration of history, retaining many period details, such the stone floor in the lobby.

We placed an emphasis on comfortable, luxurious care of guests. Breakfast, afternoon tea and dinner are included every day.
